Subject: O.T. Israel salvation? |
Bible Note: Dear zach†, Greetings from Japan in the name of the Lord Jesus! "After reading that, I ask, when you say "not without our submission" that makes me believe that individuals must take some responsibility in the surrendering and yielding process. Your thoughts?" My friend, my thoughts are simple, and without contradiction. (at least in this instance. :-)) Submission, surrender and yielding are all part of the sanctification process, and pleasing to God, perhaps to be rewarded. But not anything to do with our salvation from hell and damnation. As to victory, I do not agree with Jerry Bridges. If we consider 'Victory' to be victory over death and the grave, nothing we can do, even obedience, can gain it. Jesus alone holds this distinction. Peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
